I love you too R! And yeah.... Brianne OR Denise couldn't emote if they had a gun held to their head. Its really painful to watch. They are just BAD, BAD actors. Brianne should get out and go to university to get a career she is good at. I mean.... I don't blame her. Its TPTB that seem to find something redeeming about her portrayal. The whole time I just kept thinking about Ambyr Childs..... she was no emmy winner..... but she at least could hold her own in a scene.

The non reaction to Stuart's death (eye dropper tears do not count).... :rolleyes:

And YES Luner did try. I actually thought she was very good in those scenes.... and also probably thinking who the hell is this girl and what is she doing here..... Luner seems to be mouthy and kind of crass..... Pratt loves her.... maybe she will request she be fired if she is going to be working with her... I mean AWFUL thing.... but I'd actually secretly LOVE Luner if she were to do that.

Lunar seems like a decent actress. I could tell she was trying in those scenes as well, and I also agree - you could almost tell she was thinking in her head (re: Moncrief), "Damn, this chick SUCKS!".

I just have a hard time thinking of her as Liza... but that's obviously no fault of the actress.

It works better to think of her as a totally new character.

Ok, I have to say this...

Love Jamie Luner. Love her acting. Love her body. Love her.

But she's not Liza.

Today, during her scenes with Zach, I was like: "Oh, Skye's here...wait, no, Liza! Skye? Nope.. still Liza...hmmmm.." :lol:

Aiden/Ryan scenes were laughable...two bad actors in one scene...

Colby OMFG...

Guilty or not, Zach Slater needs to die by a slow, painful death.

I only remember Lunar from that sitcom 20+ years ago "Just the Ten of Us." The spin-off from Growing Pains. She was one of the coach's daughters. I never watching Melrose Place or Savannah so I have no idea about either of those characters she played on those shows.

Speaking of Melrose Place -- ABC canceled According to Jim... Does this mean Pratt will talk Courtney Thorne Smith into playing a recast Hayley?

KIDDING! JUST KIDDING!

You know he'd call up Josie Bissett.

Yep! 1999 that was when Agnes Nixon came back for her last time as headwriter (well co headwriter) largely doing the Bianca story. I LOVED that Marian story--it was very old school AMC and a welcome change for the show even if it was always just a B story.

Lunar *feels* like Skye to me already--I guess they wanted the Marian/Colby connection? That's the onlyr eason i can see for making her Liza and not Skye (and Tad connection)

Maybe with Sutart gone ( :( ) Marian can return to these ways a bit? AMC needs a new Phoebe/snobby rich character. I thougth we had that with the HORRIBLY wasted Mary but...

Enid and her Daughters of Fine Lineage friends would certainly have stopped a casino from being built in their small town!

I really enjoyed this episode.

First off, as everyone else has said, it was great to see people finally grieving for the dead man. Unfortunately, it had to turn out to be Stuart before the grief began, but even JR showed more emotion today than he has all week. I also cried buckets when Scott saw his dad's body.

Brianne shouldn't still be there. How is she keeping her job?

I like Luner even though she doesn't feel like Liza. I think Liza fits the story better though because she's a viable suspect as opposed to Skye whom we know would never shoot her father. Liza also has a history with David that makes her faux pregnancy more interesting (he kept the truth about Colby's paternity from her & Jake, if you recall).

Tad's jokes were really bad and I hope that part of the storyline ends soon, but I think his lack of compassion while everyone around him was grieving means the part of his brain that controls sympathy was damaged. This could be a fascinating story and give Michael Knight Emmy-worthy material.

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
